Multimodal transformer-based watermarking for deepfake detection and digital media authentication: current progress, challenges, and future directions
The rapid advancement of deepfake generation technologies has fundamentally outpaced the forensic tools designed to detect and authenticate digital media. Traditional watermarking methods, while foundational, were not conceived for the adversarial complexity of multimodal content ecosystems where video, audio, and image signals are increasingly synthesized, blended, and redistributed at scale. This gap has made reliable media provenance one of the most pressing open problems in applied artificia
